Inspiration hanging in front of you, 8 hours 5 days/week huh? If that
doesn't help the process along, nothing will!

Oh pshaw...SNOT building is just really experimenting with what you have.
Oddly enough, it is often easier on parts that traditional building as you
can cover larger spaces with basic bricks. There are also many ways to
attach the SNOT panels to the frame other than the common technic beam and
stud pegs. You can use hinges, Classic Space 'L' brackets, 1x1 front stud
bricks, or even just just placed in and secured by a lip of plates at either
side. Give it whurl...have some fun with it.

Sounds like a good direction to head in. Another method for angling
exterior walls is the using magnets to hold plates in place. The ISD and
several MOC's such as Adrian Drake's Nebuccanezzar use this wonderfully.
It's amazing how secure a couple of them can make a surface. Very cheap on
Bricklink too.

Aww go on. No, really...go on. ;) Seriously, thanks for the too kind
compliment. Being part of this group has taken my building where it never
could have gotten on it's own. This place really is an education, as well
as being a blast!
Cheers,
